Although Art History has no Art prerequisites, it is open to upper class students only. The class is based on Janson’s History of Art text, slides and teacher lectures. Students who are interested in Art, Aesthetics, World Cultures and History benefit greatly from this class.
This is the text book for the course. Written by H. W. Janson and Anthony F. Janson, it is designed with High School students in mind. The readability of the text is from 10th through 12th grade level. Students keep the book at home and are not required to bring them to class.
